Technical Field

The present invention relates to a circuit board fixing structure for fixing a circuit board to a base (e.g., a heat sink or a bottom plate), and more particularly, to a circuit board fixing structure having an electrode serving as both fixing of the circuit board and power supply, and a light irradiation device having the circuit board fixing structure.

Background

Conventionally, as an ink for sheet-fed offset printing, an ultraviolet-curable ink which is cured by irradiation of ultraviolet light is used, and as a sealant for an fpd (flat display) such as a liquid crystal panel or an organic E L (Electro L polymerization) panel, an ultraviolet-curable resin is used, and a light irradiation device which irradiates ultraviolet light is generally used for curing such an ultraviolet-curable ink or an ultraviolet-curable resin (for example, patent document 1).

The light irradiation device described in patent document 1 includes a heat sink, a plurality of light source modules fixed to the heat sink, a terminal block fixed to a side surface of the heat sink, and the like. Each light source module has an electrode plate disposed so as to project toward the terminal block, and power is supplied to each light source module by fixing each electrode plate to the terminal block. Further, the fixing plates for pressing the substrates of the light source modules are disposed so as to cover the electrode plates, and the fixing plates and the electrode plates are fastened together to the terminal block, whereby the light source modules are fixed to the heat sink.

Prior patent document 1: japanese patent laid-open publication No. 2015-28915.

In the light irradiation device described in patent document 1, an electrode plate and a fixing plate are provided, respectively, to supply stable power to the light source module and fix the light source module without applying excessive stress. However, since the electrode plate and the fixing plate protrude toward the terminal block (i.e., protrude toward the outside of the light source module), there is a problem in that the dimension in the direction orthogonal to the arrangement direction of the light source modules becomes large (i.e., cannot be made thin). Further, when the light source module needs to be replaced due to a failure of the light source module or the like, the fixing plate needs to be attached and detached, and thus a structure that enables the replacement of the light source module to be performed more easily is required.

Disclosure of Invention

In view of the above circumstances, an object of the present invention is to provide a small-sized circuit board fixing structure that can easily replace a circuit board (such as a light source module) on a base (such as a heat sink). Further, a light irradiation device having such a circuit board fixing structure is provided.

In order to achieve the above object, a circuit board fixing structure according to the present invention is a circuit board fixing structure for fixing a circuit board to a surface of a base, the circuit board fixing structure including: a wiring pattern formed on a surface of the circuit board; a first through hole penetrating from the front surface to the back surface of the circuit board; a second through hole penetrating from the front surface to the back surface of the base so as to communicate with the first through hole; an electrode inserted into the second through hole; and a fixing member that is attached to a front surface side of the circuit board and engages with the electrode to fix the circuit board to the base, and electrically connects the wiring pattern and the electrode via the fixing member when the fixing member engages with the electrode.

According to this configuration, since the electrode is used for both fixing the circuit board and supplying power, it is not necessary to provide a dedicated component for supplying power to the circuit board as in the conventional art, and the circuit board can be downsized.

The end of the electrode on the circuit substrate side may be configured to be fitted into the first through hole.

Preferably, the base has conductivity, and the second through hole further has an insulating member for insulating the electrode from the base. In this case, the electrode may be provided in plurality, and the insulating member may be formed so as to support the plurality of electrodes.

The base may be configured to have insulating properties.

The fixing member is a screw, and the electrode may have a screw hole into which the screw is screwed.

Further, preferably, the base is a heat sink that cools the circuit substrate.

From another viewpoint, the light irradiation device of the present invention may include any one of the above-described circuit board fixing structures and a plurality of light emitting elements disposed on the circuit board. In this case, the light emitted from the light-emitting element is preferably light having a wavelength in the ultraviolet region.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to realize a circuit substrate fixing structure which can easily replace a circuit board on a base and is small in size. Further, a light irradiation device having such a circuit board fixing structure is realized.

(first embodiment)

As shown in fig. 1, the light irradiation device 1 of the present embodiment includes 4L ED modules 100, a heat sink 200 (base), an anode terminal 300a, a cathode terminal 300b, and the like for supplying power to each L ED module 100, and a metal box-shaped case (not shown) for housing these components, and the anode terminal 300a and the cathode terminal 300b are collectively referred to as an electrode terminal 300 (electrode) in the present specification.

L ED module 100 includes a rectangular substrate 105 (circuit board) defined by the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction, and a plurality of L ED elements 110 (light emitting elements) on substrate 105, and 4L ED modules 100 (see FIG. 1(a)) are arranged and fixed on one end face of heat sink 200. substrate 105 is, for example, a ceramic substrate made of aluminum nitride having high thermal conductivity, and a pair of through holes 120 (first through holes) (FIG. 1(e)) are formed in each substrate 105 at positions corresponding to electrode terminals 300. furthermore, in the present embodiment, by placing substrate 105 on heat sink 200 while applying a heat dissipating grease (not shown) on the surface (placement surface) of heat sink 200, the heat dissipating grease is sandwiched between the back surface of substrate 105 and heat sink 200, and the adhesion between substrate 105 and heat sink 200 is improved.

L ED module 100 includes 70L ED elements 110, wherein 70L ED elements 110 are disposed on substrate 105 in 7 rows (Y axis direction) × (X axis direction) and 70L ED elements 110 are disposed on the surface of substrate 105 in a state where optical axes are aligned in the Z axis direction, anode patterns AP and cathode patterns KP for supplying power to L ED elements 110 are formed on the surface of substrate 105, L ED elements 110 are electrically connected to one end portions of anode patterns AP and cathode patterns KP by soldering or the like (for example, conductive adhesive (silver paste), solder, welding/fusion, diffusion bonding or the like), anode patterns AP and electrode bars 310 of anode terminals 300a are electrically connected to electrode bars 310 of cathode terminals 300b, cathode patterns KP and electrode bars 310 of cathode terminals 300b are electrically connected to each other (described in detail later), and electrode bars 310 of anode terminals 300a and cathode terminals 300b are electrically connected to a driving circuit 385, and the driving circuit 300b is electrically connected to the driving circuit 385, and the driving elements 300b are supplied with ultraviolet light intensity adjusting current from the anode elements 110 a driving circuit 110 b and the driving circuit 300b via ultraviolet light irradiation means, and ultraviolet light emitting from the anode elements 110 and cathode elements 300b in the directions, and ultraviolet light irradiation means such as emitting directions, and ultraviolet light emitting directions, and ultraviolet light emitting directions, if the light emitting current adjusting means such as emission directions are substantially equal to the ultraviolet light emitting from anode elements 110, 300b, and ultraviolet light emitting device 110, 300b, and ultraviolet light emitting device 300 lighting device, and cathode elements 110, 300 lighting device, and cathode elements 110 emitting.

The heat sink 200 is a metal (e.g., copper or aluminum) plate-shaped member for dissipating heat generated by each L ED module 100, and is provided such that the front surface of the heat sink 200 abuts against the rear surface of the substrate 105 of each L ED module 100. in the heat sink 200, a rectangular through hole 210 (second through hole) penetrating from the front surface to the rear surface is formed so as to communicate with the through hole 120 of the substrate 105, and the electrode terminal 300 is inserted into the through hole 210 (fig. 1(b), (d), (e)).

As described above, the electrode terminal 300 of the present embodiment includes the anode terminal 300a connected to the anode pattern AP and the cathode terminal 300b connected to the cathode pattern KP, but the specific configuration is the same, and therefore the following description will be given by taking the cathode terminal 300b as a representative. As shown in fig. 1e, the cathode terminal 300b (electrode terminal 300) is composed of an electrode rod 310, a fixing screw 320, a washer 325, and an insulating sleeve 330.

Fig. 2 is a perspective view showing a state in which an electrode rod 310 and an insulating sleeve 330 are assembled, the electrode rod 310 is a metal member having a cylindrical front end portion and a quadrangular prism-shaped base end portion, as shown in fig. 2, and is inserted into a resin insulating sleeve 330 having a cylindrical front end portion and a quadrangular prism-shaped base end portion (that is, the insulating sleeve 330 is attached to an outer peripheral surface of the electrode rod 310), and is inserted into a through hole 210 of a heat sink 200. further, when the electrode rod 310 is mounted in the through hole 210, the front ends of the electrode rod 310 and the insulating sleeve 330 are positioned on a plane substantially identical to a surface (mounting surface) of the heat sink 200, or are slightly recessed from the surface of the heat sink 200 (fig. 1(e)), the electrode rod 310 and the insulating sleeve 330 are disposed to protrude from a rear surface side of the heat sink 200 (fig. 1(b)) when the electrode rod 310 and the insulating sleeve 330 are mounted in the through hole 210, the light irradiation device 1 is prepared, the assembly is performed in a state in which the electrode rod 310 and the insulating sleeve 330 are mounted in the through hole 200, the screw thread portions 200 of the screw thread portions (fig. 1(b) of the electrode rod 310 and the screw mounting washer 120) is disposed to the through hole 120, and the screw mounting washer 320, and the screw mounting module 320 is disposed to connect the cathode mounting module 320, and the cathode mounting module mounting the cathode module mounting the cathode module mounting the cathode module mounting module 100, and the cathode module mounting the cathode module mounting module 320, if the cathode module mounting the cathode module 320 are connected.

In this way, in the present embodiment, the electrode terminal 300 is used for both fixing of the substrate 105 and supply of power, and therefore, it is not necessary to provide a dedicated member for supplying power to the substrate 105, and it is possible to miniaturize the L ED module 100, and also, in the case where the L ED module 100 needs to be replaced when the L ED module 100 fails, etc., the operation of replacing the L ED module 100 by simply removing the fixing screw 320 (that is, it is not necessary to connect a dedicated member for supplying power to the L ED module 100, or to perform wiring, etc.), and therefore, it is possible to replace the L ED module 100 with a simple operation, and in the present embodiment, the design freedom is improved by making the distal end portions of the electrode rod 310 and the insulating sleeve 330 cylindrical, making the hole for engagement (that is, the through hole 210) circular, making the five planar portions at the proximal end portions of the electrode rod 310 quadrangular prism, making the proximal end portions of the five planar portions of the electrode rod 310 into quadrangular prism, etc., and making the screw holes for connecting members (not shown) for connecting the power supply members.

The above is the description of the present embodiment, but the present invention is not limited to the above configuration, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention.

For example, in the present embodiment, the case where the light irradiation device 1 includes the circuit board fixing structure 10 has been described, but the application of the circuit board fixing structure 10 is not limited thereto, and the present invention can be applied to a device having a structure in which a circuit board is supported on a base (e.g., a heat sink or a bottom plate).

In the present embodiment, although the washer 325 and the fixing screw 320 are attached to the through hole 120 to fix L the ED module 100, the washer 325 is not essential if the outer diameter of the head of the fixing screw 320 is sufficiently larger than the through hole 120.

The heat sink 200 of the present embodiment is a plate-shaped member made of metal, but is not limited to such a configuration, and may be made of, for example, an insulating material. In this case, the insulating sleeve 330 for insulating the electrode rod 310 and the heat sink 200 is not necessarily required, and the electrode rod 310 may be directly attached to the through hole 210 of the heat sink 200.

Further, although the tip portions of the electrode rod 310 and the insulating sleeve 330 according to the present embodiment have a cylindrical shape, if such a configuration is adopted, there is a problem that the electrode rod 310 rotates when the fixing screw 320 is attached, and therefore the electrode rod 310 and (or) the insulating sleeve 330 may have a rotation stopping function.

The light irradiation device 1 of the present embodiment has been described as a device that emits ultraviolet light, but the present invention is not limited to such a configuration, and may be applied to a light source device that emits visible light or infrared light.

In the present embodiment, the L ED module 100 is held and fixed between the washer 325 and the heat sink 200 by the fixing screw 320, but the present invention is not limited to this configuration, and for example, as shown in fig. 3, a screw portion 311 may be provided at the tip end of the electrode rod 310, the screw portion 311 may be exposed through the through hole 120, and the L ED module 100 may be fixed between the washer 325 and the heat sink 200 by a nut 321 attached to the screw portion 311.

(second embodiment)

Fig. 4 is a diagram illustrating a schematic configuration of a light irradiation device 2 including a circuit board fixing structure 20 according to a second embodiment of the present invention, in which fig. 4(a) is a front view, fig. 4(b) is a cross-sectional view taken along line C-C of fig. 4(a), fig. 4(C) is a rear view, and fig. 4(D) is a cross-sectional view taken along line D-D of fig. 4 (a).

As shown in fig. 4(b) and (d), the light irradiation device 2 of the present embodiment is different from the light irradiation device 1 of the first embodiment in that it includes a water-cooling type heat sink 200A.

The radiator 200A of the present embodiment is provided with a coolant supply connector 250 and a coolant discharge connector 260 on the back side for supplying and discharging a coolant (for example, water), and the coolant supplied from the coolant supply connector 250 flows through the flow paths 230 and 240 formed inside the radiator 200A (fig. 4(d)) and is discharged from the coolant discharge connector 260 to circulate.

(third embodiment)

Fig. 5 is a diagram illustrating a schematic configuration of a light irradiation device 3 including a circuit board fixing structure 30 according to a third embodiment of the present invention, in which fig. 5(a) is a front view, fig. 5(b) is a cross-sectional view taken along line E-E of fig. 5(a), fig. 5(c) is a rear view, fig. 5(d) is a cross-sectional view taken along line F-F of fig. 5(a), and fig. 5(E) is an enlarged view of a portion L of fig. 5 (d).

As shown in fig. 5(e), the light irradiation device 3 of the present embodiment is different from the light irradiation device 1 of the first embodiment in that the tips of the electrode rod 310B and the insulating sleeve 330B are projected from the surface (mounting surface) of the heat sink 200, and the tips of the electrode rod 310B and the insulating sleeve 330B are fitted into the through hole 120 of the substrate 105.

Thus, if the tips of the electrode rods 310B and the insulating sleeves 330B are fitted into the through holes 120 of the substrate 105, when the L ED modules 100 are placed on the surface (placement surface) of the heat sink 200, the L ED modules 100 are automatically positioned on the heat sink 200, and thus, in the present embodiment, the electrode terminals 300B are used for positioning the substrate 105 in addition to fixing the substrate 105 and supplying power.

(fourth embodiment)

Fig. 6 is a diagram illustrating a schematic configuration of a light irradiation device 4 including a circuit board fixing structure 40 according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention, in which fig. 6(a) is a front view, fig. 6(b) is a cross-sectional view taken along line G-G of fig. 6(a), fig. 6(c) is a rear view, fig. 6(d) is a cross-sectional view taken along line H-H of fig. 6(a), and fig. 6(e) is an enlarged view of a portion M of fig. 6 (d).

As shown in fig. 6(b), (C), (d), and (e), the light irradiation device 4 of the present embodiment is different from the light irradiation device 1 of the first embodiment in that the anode terminal 300Ca and the cathode terminal 300Cb for supplying power to each L ED module 100 are disposed in proximity to the anode terminal 300Ca and the cathode terminal 300Cb for supplying power to the adjacent L ED module 100, and the anode terminal 300Ca and the cathode terminal 300Cb are attached to be supported by the substantially rectangular insulating member 330C and then attached to the rectangular through hole 210C formed in the heat sink 200C.

As described above, in the present embodiment, if the anode terminal 300Ca and the cathode terminal 300Cb are mounted on the insulating member 330C in advance and then mounted on the heat sink 200C, the plurality of terminals (the anode terminal 300Ca and the cathode terminal 300Cb) are grouped together, so that assembly and wiring are easy, and further, since the anode terminal 300Ca and the cathode terminal 300Cb can be assembled after being completely fixed to the insulating member 330C, positional displacement in the rotational direction of the anode terminal 300Ca and the cathode terminal 300Cb, etc. can be eliminated, and fixation of the L ED module 100 and the heat sink 200C can be made stronger, and in the present embodiment, one anode terminal 300Ca and one cathode terminal 300Cb are supported by the insulating member 330C, but the insulating member 330C may be configured to support more anode terminals 300Ca and cathode terminals 300 Cb.

The embodiments disclosed herein are illustrative in all respects and should not be considered as restrictive. The scope of the present invention is defined by the claims, not by the above description, and includes all modifications equivalent in meaning and scope to the claims.
